Operations Research

Operations research has the purpose of investigating, analyzing and improve business operations. The research encompasses the entire system, but can also focus on specific elements only.

An operations researcher analysis the operation and determines which techniques are most appropriate for monitoring, controlling, planning and organization, given the nature of the system, the goals for improvement, and constraints on time and resources.

Some of the primary tools used by operations researchers are statistics, optimization, stochastic's, queuing theory, game theory, graph theory, decision analysis, and simulation.
